Gluten Free Chocolate Nutella Cake Balls

Chocolate Nutella Cake Balls

This was the very first dessert I ever made Gluten Free. That is why there is only 1 picture, I never thought I would even being doing this blog( who needs more then 1 picture anyway, me!)I love these, but I can honestly say, I could eat Nutella with a spoon!I have taken these many places and no one can ever tell they are (GF), I love it!! Try them, tell me what you think, Natalie

1- GF Betty Crocker chocolate cake mix

3 eggs

1 cup butter milk

1 stick of butter( melted)

1tsp. vanilla

Follow mixing instructions on cake mix, except for when it says water, you add buttermilk. Pour into a 9x13 inch greased baking pan. Cook at 350 degrees for 25-28 min or until, you check with a toothpick and the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.

Step 2- crumble the cake into a large bowl, crumbs and all.

1 cup Nutella is then added to the cake crumbs, stir together with a spoon or your hands which ever is easier, until it is a thick consistency.

Step 3- I then spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray, roll the cake into whatever size balls you would like. Lay them on the tray, and put them in the freezer for an 1-2 hours, or even overnight.

Step 4- When they are frozen they can be stored in a freezer bag, to be finished at a later time, which is so nice. Pull them out of the freezer, dip them in dark or milk melting chocolate. Melt a little white melting chocolate, to either color or just drizzle on the top, to finish the look.

My family really loves these; I just make them, and store them in the freezer for a quick treat! My Gluten eating sister even requested them for Easter, kids and adults alike were enjoying these rich, chocolatey treats.
